Finally Found (36 page)

“Hey, wait,” she said as she pulled back. “I thought that Sam and Haley were in Philly for the trial.”

“The trial is over. The jury came back with a verdict late last night. Chase, the guy who attacked Haley, is going to go to jail for a very long time. The sentencing will be after we all get back from our honeymoons.” He looked at her in awe. “We have a honeymoon to plan! Where do you want to go?”

“Some place warm and tropical. And would you mind if we went alone? I think we could use the couple time. We won’t be having any for much longer.” She smiled at him. “Gawd! I can’t believe we’re doing this? Who does this?” She shook her head.

“We do,” he said simply.

An hour later they were at her apartment with
Neville and movers. She looked at Adam wide-eyed. “How the hell did you manage to pull this off?” She asked.

He laughed. “Magic,” he said simply. “Now, just so we’re on the same page. You aren’t lifting and you aren’t packing.”

She crossed her arms over her chest. “So what am I doing? Why am I here?” She asked.

“You are here to point.” He took her by the hand. “Come on. I’ll show you.”

In an hour, they had her entire place packed. It wasn’t difficult. She was already living a meager lifestyle. Everything she was keeping was brought back to the loft. Everything she was donating was delivered to Goodwill.

“You’re giving to Goodwill?” He smiled. “Most people would have simply thrown that stuff out.”

“I like giving to the less fortunate. I do it all the time.” She shrugged and walked away.

Adam found himself doing something he had never had cause to do before. He marveled at his good fortune. He had been living a privileged life since birth, but it was only when Cammie became a part of that life that it felt rich and full.

The rest of the day passed in a blur. For Cammie, it was broken up by naps, meals, and shopping. For Adam, it was scheduling and planning. He had never worked so hard in his life. At the same time, he had never f
ound life more fulfilling. The passed out in bed from exhaustion at the end of the night.

Cammie had taken one look at all the boxes and proclaimed they would still be there when she was ready to tackle them.

“And just when do you suppose that will be?” Adam asked jokingly.

“Well, according to the doctor…second trimester.” She leaned on Adam’s shoulder and her eyes gradually shut.

He couldn’t help but wonder if he would ever take her beauty for granted, if he would ever stop being inspired by her drive and determination, or how he could possibly love her more than he did in this moment. He was ready for this. He would do everything he could to make sure she was, too.

“Doll, time to get up,” he murmured in her ear. “You have to get ready for a day of pampering.”

Stretching, she looked at him. “None of this seems real to me. Then I look at the ring or I puke and it all comes together.” She smiled.

He laughed. “I’m glad you can find the humor in that.” He
walked around the bed. “So, massages?”

Cammie frowned. “No massages until second trimester.”

“That’s going to be a very busy time for you, isn’t it? The unpacking, the massaging…” He smirked.

“Well, they do pair well.” She stood up and rushed to the bathroom.

Minutes later, the toilet flushed and she returned. “Like clockwork.”

“Let’s have a nice quiet night. We have to pack, but let’s order in. We’ll watch a movie, cuddle, whatever you want. I’ll rub your feet and massage your neck. Sound good?” He studied her with concern.

“Sounds perfect,” she admitted. Then she turned to go get ready for the day ahead.

When they finally came together in the afternoon, Cammie was ready for a nap. She placed her dinner order with Adam and headed to bed. A few hours later, she woke to soft music playing and the aromas of dinner. For that, she would get up. She wandered hesitantly out to the living area and there he was, sitting on the couch, looking up potential movies on the cable guide.

“Hey,” she said quietly.

Adam hopped up from the sofa. “You’re awake!”

They sat down to dinner, and compared stories about their day. Finally, Adam set his fork down. He looked at her and she knew she had better pay attention.

“I know you have doubts, still,” he said. “I feel them.”

Her head drooped some. “I had a plan. This is lovely, but I worry that somehow, I’m going to lose me, lose sight of my dreams. I worry that I’ll grow accustomed to the privileges and I’ll get lazy. I worry that you’ll encourage that and I’ll go along with it because it is easier. Though I’ve never taken the easy path, this one has so many variables to consider that I can’t even see where I’m going.”

He reached across the table and held her hand. “I get all that. Don’t worry. You have had the opposite effect on me. I want to work to make you proud, to provide for us, and our child. I want us to work toward your goals together…five years at a time. Along the way, I will find myself. You don’t know how much you’ve already given me of my dream.”

They sat down soon after to relax on the couch. Though she’d already had one nap, there was something so soothing about being in Adam’s arms that she struggled to not fall asleep. Finally, she decided to do something to stay awake.

Cammie pulled one of Adam’s hands up to cup her breast; and the other she used to cup the side of her face. Bit by bit, she licked and sucked on his fingers until she could feel his erection poking into her side. Rolling off of him, she worked his belt, his button, and his zipper until his boxers were exposed. She pulled them down just enough for his cock to spring out before her eyes.

She captured it, savoring how it felt in her hand. She licked from the base to the tip, and then sucked on the head. Soon she was rewarded with some pre-come and she happily lapped it up.

“Come here,” he said in a husky voice. He hooked his hands under her arms to haul her up the length of him. Reaching under her skirt, he realized that she wasn’t wearing any panties. On the one hand, it was incredibly sexy. On the other… “Tell me you had panties on when you were shopping today,” he implored.

Chuckling, she lifted her discarded panties from the floor. “Satisfied?” She asked with a playful smile.

“Almost.” She had no idea how he had done it, but suddenly, she was on her back on the couch. He was between her legs, and finally he was in her once more. Immediately she decided this was the best part of pregnancy. The blood rushing to build this baby had already begun to make her super horny. He felt so warm and hard. He fit so perfectly. This was the man she would get to do this with forever. There was something so special and comforting about that.

Soon she was having the most intense orgasm of her life. She cried out. She tightened impossibly around him. She knew he felt it because his thrusts became more intense. Then she felt it building again. Her eyes widened. It was the elusive second orgasm. He knew. How did he know?

He rolled onto the floor dragging her with him. She had the top. He said the prettiest things. “Ride it out, doll. You can do it. I know you want this so bad.” He was kissing her, sucking on her breasts, playing with her nipples, and turning her on more ways than she could count. Then it happened. She’d heard of it, but never knew it really existed. How perfect that she was experiencing it with him. She whimpered and he took that as his cue to finally release. She could feel it…him shooting his seed into her. It was incredible. She lay on his chest completely spent.

Adam played with her hair. “Doll, I am so glad we did this tonight. I have been wanting you, but not wanting to push it. I was afraid we might get so wrapped up in completing all the different tasks that we would lose sight of what was important, what this was all about…us.” He held her close. “I do love you, Cammie. I love you so much it makes me vulnerable in ways I’ve never been before.”

Raising up on her hands so she could see his face. She decided to be vulnerable, too. “I love you, Adam. More than that…I trust you. And…I believe in us. But…after we get this wedding and honeymoon done…let’s slow down. Okay?”

“Absolutely,” he agreed.

The next day was incredibly busy between flying to The Keys and moving into the beach house. The day after that wasn’t much better with organizing the servers, picking up the cakes, making changes with the minister, and applying for marriage licenses. The day of the wedding arrived and the couples were eager to take their vows and relax.

“Hey, where are you going?” Cammie asked as Adam walked out of the bedroom in a polo shirt and khakis.

“Sam and I are going to go play a round of golf with you father while you ladies get ready. The hair and makeup teams should be here in about forty minutes. I ordered food for you. It should be delivered around
11am. I wanted you to be able to snack all morning.” He looked at her a moment as if to freeze this memory. “Tonight, I’ll make you my wife. Sunset.”
